Has anybody put it on an airplane and what were the results? Does it come in blue?

It only comes in red or silver, we do not have blue. I have heard of people traveling with it and it went just fine. The main protection to the machine is the inner bag being used properly, the exterior is just a shell. Thanks, Oren

No, I would not trust an airline with this item. Nor would I put a lot of weight on top of it. Especially the "see through" top part.

You will have to paint it, but it is a cool airplane. It is a two toned, but easy to do. (just a hint...I use electrician tape for masking. No residue when removed!.) Hope this helps!

I believe it did say you can take it on a airline...depending which one. The size I got (large) will not fit under the seat. Hope this helps.

On a jet, yes. Not on one of those commuter planes. It looks like a duffel back when rolled up and can fit in the overhead, or at worst you can gate check it. We've traveled internationally with ours twice.

I've put it in a backpack and carried it onto a plane and didn't have any issues. Your mileage may vary, though, depending on how pissed off your local TSA reps are by the time you get there.

We didn't use it on a plane, but according to the Britax website and the booklet came with it, it won't be difficult to install. We use the Britax carseat bag and checked in at gate along with our stroller, both didn't count as extra luggage. The bag also can be carry like a backpack, it was light and easy to carry. The Carseat bag also could fit a toddler potty seat from IKEA. So it worked perfectly for us.

Hello - I've never taken this on an airplane, but from what I have managed to get under the seat, this pack is too long. Also, if full, it will be too wide. I take things out of it to get it into the long locker at my gym (YMCA), if that's any help. From what I have seen people put overhead on the plane, it would certainly fit overhead.

Yes, we did. You just fold the wheels in and push the handle down and it'll sit flat, no problem. We actually left it on the seat while it was strapped into the cab too. I wouldn't leave it on if you were going to check the seat under the plane bc I fear it might get roughed up under the plane.

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

Probably even in/on an ultra light. It's pretty small. Or do you mean can you put it into checked baggage on commercial air? I would imagine so, since there is nothing pressurized about it.Happy flying!J

Yes, the blue held up really well. I was backpacking for three months shoving the back under bunkbeds at hostels and you could hardly see any marks. The grey reenforcement at the corners showed a little ware after coming off the luggage hold on the plane. I really liked this bag and the versatility it offers.

I have never tried it but I think it will probably turn out mostly blue with a slight purple color in some places.

oh yeah i did...it was fine. i flew southwest, and it fit comfortably...rolled to the back of the overhead compartment...didnt get crushed or anything. on the way back from my conference i didnt care as much about having my poster attached to my hip so i checked the tube... was totally fine, got it back intact.

I've never taken it on a plane, however you should probably place it in your suitecase. I dought if they would let you take it on the plane , due the its size.

It did when I bought mine - there was a special deal to upgrade to larger fly for a few bucks but I did not take it to save weight. Got waterproof fabric cheap from Walmart and made a big rainfly for car camping. Had my mother-in-law put in two long zippers down side so if it is on the ground you can still use it as bivy, upgraded to tie offs as per you tube. Got it all done, then had a kid and will probably not get to use it again. Oh well, it is a super product and I do enjoy owning it if not using it.

I don't know of such a sticker but we traveled with it on Southwest recently. Then again, we checked the car seat so we never used it on the actual airplane. And for what it's worth, a seat for a child small enough for a car seat is an airliner racket. They're not really much safer in their own seat or a car seat when/if an airplane crashes.
